Sun Java System Web Proxy Server 4.0.5 Configuration File Reference

reverse-map

Applicable in NameTrans-class directives.

The reverse-map function is used to rewrite HTTP response headers when the proxy server is functioning as a reverse proxy. reverse-map looks for the URL prefix specified by the from parameter in certain response headers. If the from prefix matches the beginning of the response header value, reverse-map replaces the matching portion with the to prefix.

Parameters

The following table describes parameters for the reverse-map function.
